We've done what happens to the Bandits in the regular season when they take a lead. What about the playoffs? You'd think that the competition would be tougher, so the chances of blowing a lead or making a comeback might be smaller. Let's see how the numbers work.
Lead - Record
Three-goal lead - 30-4
Four-goal lead - 25-2
Five-goal lead - 18-1
Six-goal lead - 13-1
Seven-goal lead - 8-0
Eight-goal lead - 7-0
Nine-goal lead - 6-0
10-goal lead - 1-0
11-goal lead - 1-0
12-goal lead - 1-0
13-goal lead - 1-0
Now for the flip side:
Deficit - Record
Three-goal deficit - 4-15
Four-goal deficit - 2-9
Five-goal deficit - 0-9
Six-goal deficit - 0-6
Seven-goal deficit - 0-5
Eight-goal deficit - 0-1
Nine-goal deficit - 0-1
Let's narrow down the margins to those in the fourth quarter. If the Bandits were ahead by a certain number at any point of the period (including one second), it counts for these purposes. I've added two-goal stats here, because they can be significant in such a small time span.
Lead - Record
Two-goal lead - 21-5
Three-goal lead - 14-1
Four-goal lead - 13-0
Five-goal lead - 12-0
Six-goal lead - 9-0
Seven-goal lead - 7-0
Eight-goal lead - 7-0
Nine-goal lead - 6-0
10-goal lead - 1-0
11-goal lead - 1-0
12-goal lead - 1-0
13-goal lead - 1-0
The Bandits are close to money in the bank once they have a two-goal lead in the fourth quarter. Let's turn the numbers around, and it seems any deficit is difficult to overcome:
Deficit - Record
Two-goal deficit - 1-10
Three-goal deficit - 1-6
Four-goal deficit - 1-5
Five-goal deficit - 0-7
Six-goal deficit - 0-5
Seven-goal deficit - 0-3
Eight-goal deficit - 0-2
Nine-goal deficit - 0-2
